The study presented in this thesis constitutes part of a larger program of research on the biochemistry of progressive muscular dystrophy (PMD). Investigations concerned with the problem of PMD were inaugurated in the Department of Biochemistry, at McGill University in 1957. From the time of its inauguration to the present, the various aspects of this research program have been under the direction of Dr. E. A. Hosein. PMD, in humans, is characterized by the degeneration and atrophy of striated muscle (1), and is accompanied by a number of non-specific biochemical abnormalities which have been shown by numerous investigators to extend to several different aspects of normal muscle metabolism (2-11).
